Welcome to Brenda George Homes and Design, where we transform spaces into captivating havens. Whether it's a home, a bathroom, a kitchen, an office or a vacation home we specialize in breathing new life into every corner. With our innovative approach trendy materials and attention to detail, we guarantee turn around fast and beat the competition prices.

"Prior to meeting Brenda, I was with another realtor who I loved! But the market is and was tough, so there was no inventory. I realized that if I was going to get what I wanted, I was going to need someone who was "hungry", and was going to really advocate for me. Then I met Brenda at a social event and I knew immediately that she was who I was looking for! She would be on it! I contacted her afterward, and she responded immediately, but the stars didn't align for us until about a month in when the home she said was not on the market was available for me. She put an offer in, managed to make the offer strong enough that the owner would not list it, and she advocated for me ferociously throughout the entire process! She's a tiger! And she's absolutely reliable! I was even travelling internationally during escrow, and we managed to close while I was abroad! So many bumps and hills along the way, but she sweat blood and tears to close that deal! I am forever grateful to her for that! THEN, she ended up helping me renovate the property from the beginning to the end! She even decorated it, and helped me stage the other side of the duplex to rent it out. You would not believe the before and after pictures! And, she did it on a budget to which no one else could compare. She managed to find furniture for a near steal...it was a miracle! Now, she still manages the online rental processes and I refer her to whomever I can! You want Brenda in your corner! She's well respected in the industry and gets her way, which is "your way"."

Thank you for considering me for all of your real estate needs. I have been a full-time realtor since 2005 and have consistently been recognized as one of the top producing realtors in the area. Why? The simple answer is that I simply do more than most realtors at no extra cost to my clients. I present and market every home I sell, from one bedroom condos, to 5 bedroom oceanview homes, as if it were a luxury property. I put tremendous time and effort into strategically pricing, professionally marketing, aggressively negotiating for my clients and ultimately helping them with every step in the process. With over 60 5-star reviews I hope my past success and client satisfaction ease any concerns that I am the right choice for all of your real estate needs.

"Keith went above & beyond to help us find our dream condo in Redondo Beach The Villages. We lived in NY and started our search in September 2019 and then the pandemic derailed things, as well as the crazy Ca market. Keith was constantly on the lookout for a condo that would be the right fit for us. Once we found the home we loved, he worked diligently to secure it for us. Keith never pushed us to do anything outside of our comfort zone and he was our advocate during the negotiation process of buying a home. He responded to our calls, texts & emails promptly and was very accommodating of our tight schedule when we would travel out to the South Bay to look at properties. After closing, he helped us to find a NY based broker to sell our 35+ year home and also continued to help us by checking on the condo during a building construction, and helping us to find reasonable trade people for repairs and upgrades and also checking on the work being done there for us. Keith is hands down one of the most honest, reliable, trustworthy and empathetic people I have ever met, unlike some other brokers we ran across during our search."

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

If you’re in the market, you might think twice before buying a home with a cesspool on the property. You’ll need to factor in the costs of either maintaining the cesspool (such as with aeration, pumping, and cleaning) or dismantling the system and replacing it with a septic tank or sewage line connection. It might still be a good idea to buy that home, but you’ll need to decide for yourself if the costs and hassle are worth it.

Unless the buyer or seller makes the offer or offer acceptance contingent on the appraisal results, the sale will move forward unaffected if the appraisal comes back lower than the offer. This essentially means the buyer is paying more than what the home is worth, but without that contingency, both parties are locked into the deal. Some buyers may try to negotiate the purchase price down to the appraisal value, but this may not be possible if there wasn’t an appraisal contingency in the offer agreement.

Yes, shipping container homes have a very high resale value if they’ve been well maintained over the years. You can resell this home similar to how you’d resell any home. The value depends on the market and the condition. As a bonus, you can transport many container homes depending on the design, which makes them easier to sell if the local market is challenging. 

Under the right circumstances, removing your popcorn ceiling can have a favorable ROI exceeding 80%. The ROI depends on several factors, such as the size of your ceiling, where the texture is located in your home, the state of the housing market, and whether the ceiling contains asbestos.

Property size, location, condition, recent comparable sales, and market trends are factors.
